Translation

Red flowers will bloom in the blue-white snow. I remember when this was all farmland as far as the eye could see. Every town has its share of tall tales. I've had my eye on you just like you've had your eye on me. Say a word and I'll kill them. And you know I will. If she thinks I'm just going to stand by while she destroys my family, she's wrong. Unless "Ms. Lang" has grown several inches and developed an affinity for plaid, this would be a good time for you to pipe down. I'm an alien, not a cartoon. Fire surrounds her, burning memories in an abandoned home. Looking for answers, I assume. 'Twixt truth and madness lies but a sliver of a stream. Throne of blood. Looks like we can rule out paranoia. Someone is officially trying to kill me. She was beautiful. I wanted to run to her but I couldn't. Let's just say that when I'm finished showing the world what I can do, I'll have everything I ever wanted. I'll be ready when my feet touch ground, wherever I come down. And if the folks will have me, then they'll have me. Winter dance tonight. Money-hungry thugs are like stray dogs. You feed them once, they're at your back door every night asking for more. Maybe you'd like to take me outside and hit me with your car. Wish it into the cornfield. She could be anywhere. Something tells me you don't know your friend as well as you think you do.

Interpretation

Red flowers will bloom in the blue-white snow.

In "Crisis," Lana (in the glimpse of the future) was wearing a blue-white snowflake sweater when Adam shot her. Her blood soaked through the sweater. Unfortunately, Clark saved the day, so this never really happened...!

I remember when this was all farmland as far as the eye could see.

This is a line from Back to the Future, but it also describes Clark's hometown pretty well; Smallville used to be mostly farmland until the Luthors moved into town.

Every town has its share of tall tales.

Jonathan said this in "Metamorphosis." Clark then replied that Smallville's tales are all true.

I've had my eye on you just like you've had your eye on me.

Tina (masquerading as Lana) said this to Clark in "X-Ray."

Say a word and I'll kill them. And you know I will.

This was said by Ryan's stepfather's girlfriend in "Stray." She was threatening to kill the Kents if Ryan told them she wasn't really from DCFS.

If she thinks I'm just going to stand by while she destroys my family, she's wrong.

This quote sounds familiar (I think Jonathan said it), but I can't quite figure out when it was said. Could this be from "Lineage?"

Unless "Ms. Lang" has grown several inches and developed an affinity for plaid, this would be a good time for you to pipe down.

Sheriff Cheshire (Sheriff Adams) said this in "Crisis" when she was trying to get information from Lana, but Clark kept butting in.

I'm an alien, not a cartoon.

In "Rush," RedK Clark and parasite-infected Pete revealed Clark's secret to parasite-infected Chloe. When Clark showed off his superpowers (speed, heat vision, invulnerability to being struck with a baseball bat, etc.), Chloe asked, "Can you fly?" Clark answered her by laughing and saying, "I'm an alien, not a cartoon."

Fire surrounds her, burning memories in an abandoned home.

In "Hereafter," Lana ended up in a life-threatening situation yet again (*yawn*); a gym teacher tied her and a friend up in an abandoned home and set it on fire.

Looking for answers, I assume.

Dr. Swann said this to Clark in "Rosetta."

'Twixt truth and madness lies but a sliver of a stream.

This is a quote from "Calling;" Lex told Clark that Lionel said this when Dr. Walden claimed Clark would rule the world. It's also a line from Shakespeare's "Hamlet."

Throne of blood.

A Japanese film that's a retelling of Macbeth. In "Slumber," Lex reveals he owns a replica of a sword from this film.

Looks like we can rule out paranoia. Someone is officially trying to kill me.

Chloe said this in "Delete" after both Clark and Lana tried to kill her.

She was beautiful. I wanted to run to her but I couldn't.

Jordan said this about his mother in "Hereafter."

Let's just say that when I'm finished showing the world what I can do, I'll have everything I ever wanted.

Clark said this to Lex in "Red" while under the influence of red kryptonite.

I'll be ready when my feet touch ground, wherever I come down. And if the folks will have me, then they'll have me.

These are lyrics from Steely Dan's "Any World (That I'm Welcome to)."

Winter dance tonight.

Money-hungry thugs are like stray dogs. You feed them once, they're at your back door every night asking for more.

Lex said this to Clark in "Velocity" when he refused to give Clark the $20,000 Pete needed to pay off Jason Dante.

Maybe you'd like to take me outside and hit me with your car.

Clark said this to Lex when Lex kept insisting there was something special about Clark in "Leech."

Wish it into the cornfield.

This is a reference to an old Twilight Zone episode about a scary kid named Anthony who could wish people into the cornfield when they made him mad. A stretch could be that this refers to Lana and Martha in "Pilot;" Martha wished for a child, and one could say she "wished" Clark into the cornfield where she and Jonathan found him.

She could be anywhere.

Clark said this about Alicia in "Obsession."

Something tells me you don't know your friend as well as you think you do.

Detective Cage said this to Clark in "Crisis."
